Here is the little bit I found on Google drawing. Like the rest of the Google APPS, Google drawing is free and you are able to find it on whatever computer you are on, as long as there is internet access. Google drawing counter part is the complex Adobe illustration. Google drawings makes easy the abiliy to make charts for events like wedding, when you are trying to keep organized the seating arrangement. For simple charts like a flow chart. Google drawing allows you to whip up one in a short notice. Like the rest of Google docs you can copy the imge or chart onto a different doc. If you are felling confident you can publish the drawing.
As far as using Google drawing in the class room. Students can use it to make drawings so they can illustrate a short story or a long one. You can use it in art class as a supplement activity. You can even put graphs on various math problems or to go along with a survey. You can even make cartoon strips. I feel like I am rambling know. I think this is about the right amount for the information I had to work with. I am just kidding. I hope that is alright that is to kidd.
Well, you did have a lesson plan you could have worked with, so there was a little more. However, this is fine.
ReplyDeleteIt is fine to kid, as long as everyone knows that it is a kid. Unfortunately, I have had the experience of playing along with what I thought was a "kid," only to be quoted later in what I thought was a play along as "Well, you said..." Sometimes it isn't the person with whom one is joking, but another student who overhears the statement without understanding the context.
So, if I seem a bit wary on some teases, that is why. One has to be cautious in a teacher's role.
Thanks!
